Elegant Summer Hat from an purveyor to the court, Berlin, ca. 1912

Museum Quality!

As this hat was worn, there was an emperor in Berlin. Our fable for this time is reflected in this label: „C.W. Borchert * Hoflieferant S M des Kaisers & Königs * Friedrichstr. No 157 * Berlin W“.
Imaginative summer straw hat with many lovingly designed details: silk ribbon, silk rosette, garlanded ornaments of straw at the brim and a decorative rosette (see photos). The hat has a double layer silk lining, crowned with the gold-colored label of the purveyors to the court. We can assure you: very, very rare and hardly to find! Near mint condition! This is reflected in the price.
As something special, a hatbox from the same purveyors to the court, probably for a man's hat (see photos). The decoration is not included in the price.
